Huan Ying2! Welcome :)
"Sun Zi Bing Fa" (or more commonly known in the west as
Sun Tzu's Art of War) is one of the most popularly read and translated
book of military strategy of ancient China.
"Sun Zi3" is the respectable term used to address the original author who wrote
the "SunZiBingFa" (SZBF) and it actually means "Master Sun" or "Great Teacher Sun"
just like how Confucius is revered as "Kong3 Zi3" ("Great Teacher Kong") instead
of his name "Kong3 Zhong Ni2". So, the real name of "Sun Zi3" is "Sun Wu3"
(pronounced as "Soon Woo" in English). He was born during the time of the
Spring & Autumn Period ("Chun Qiu") ... circa 770-476 BC.
At that time, the Middle Kingdom ("Zhong Guo2"), China was separated into 12 states,
each with its own ruler. The 12 states were:
- Wu State ("Wu2 Guo2")
- Yue State ("Yue4 Guo2")
- Chu State ("Chu3 Guo2")
- Song State ("Song4 Guo2")
- Lu State ("Lu3 Guo2")
- Zheng State ("Zheng4 Guo2")
- Zhou State / Chou State ("Zhou Guo2")
- Wei State ("Wei4 Guo2")
- Jin State ("Jin4 Guo2")
- Yan State ("Yan Guo2")
- Qi State / Chi State ("Qi2 Guo2")
- Qin State / Chin State ("Qin2 Guo2")
"Sun Wu3" was a native of the Qi State ("Qi2 Guo2") but eventually left and
settled down in the Wu State ("Wu2 Guo2") where he was given the chance to present
and demonstrate his 13 chapters of war treatise to the Wu King ("Wu2 Wang2") and
eventually helping the later proved the effectiveness of the "Sun Zi Bing Fa" by
defeating the other states over and over again in many battles, thus helping
establish Wu State as one of the most powerful states during the Spring & Autumn
Period ("Chun Qiu").
"Bing Fa3" means "Art of War" or "Military Strategy", or in this case "War Treatise".
So, that's why "SunZiBingFa" is commonly translated as "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
Just by reading and understanding the concepts extolled in the Sun Zi Bing Fa,
one can clearly see that "Sun Zi" is definitely one of ancient China's most
brilliant military strategist and in the same league with the very well-known
"Zhu Ge3 Liang4" or "Kong3 Ming2" of the 3 Kingdoms period (circa 220-280AD).
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" is more than a book of military strategy. In fact it is
also a book of psychology and human relationships. It is a book about understanding
and gaining insights into the strengths and weaknesses of Man and how to use those
knowlegde to achieve our aims in life while at the same time protecting ourselves
from possible harms from our enemies. The theories and concepts of
"Sun Zi Bing Fa" can be effectively used to enhance our work, business and life
in general.
"Know Your Enemy, Know Yourself ... One Hundred Battles,
One Hundred Victories!" - SunZi (510BC)

"To Subdue The Enemy Without Fighting Is The Perfect Victory"
- SunZi (510BC)
As you can see the above quote by Sun Tzu ("SunZi"), the Sun Tzu's Art of War
("Sun-Zi Bing-Fa") is about avoiding / preventing war ... by being GOOD in warfare:
BOTH defending and attacking. Wars must be avoided at all costs because of the great
lost of lives on both the nations at war. Therefore in order to prevent war, a nation

its enemies.
